Yea it has a bunch of thrills. Its SLT

I did find on the Glove box it has 3.92 rear axle
Has rear AC

Took me about 5 minutes to figure out the small switches on the side of the steering wheel was for. Gave up for awhile and tapping them to the beat and wondered for a sec why my radio changed stations LOL

I'm not sure who's more excited, me or the wife! Shoulda bought one of these a LONG time ago.

Next project is to add a 2nd battery under the hood. I did it with the Cherokee and I THINK I have a plan mapped out. Will know for sure this weekend

This plan is worthless without a write-up!

I'll make one Fighting a flu right now so just taking it ez.

I ended up with a Cone Filter on the Cherokee under the hood (no cold air) so some might dismiss it. But it fit my needs and didn't really affect performance that much. She still got 19-20 mpg and could still pull a 12' popup trailer up a 6% grade at 65.


Update:

That was the finished Product in my 95 Cherokee with a 5.2. I had rewired the Radio and Aux lights along with an Inverter to the Aux Battery (theres a fused terminal behind the Aux Battery).
This way the wife can play her music, computer, turn on lights all night and not affect the main battery. When key is on the Both batteries are together for charging. If she leaves Headlights on and drains main battery, she can push a "momentary on" button to energize the solenoid to start the jeep with the 2nd battery.

That's a clever idea. You should definitely do a write up of this. Not sure about your Jeep, but these trucks have the computer monitor all the electronics and can turn off the headlights and most other things if you leave them on for too long so that you don't kill the battery.
